About

We evaluated the prognostic role of the intraoperative arterial oxygen partial pressures (PaO2) on postoperative patient and graft survival in living donor kidney transplantations.

Full description

Undoubtedly, one of the most important elements of life on earth is oxygen. Aerobic organisms adapted to the 20.8% oxygen ratio in the atmosphere have survived even lower than this concentration by developing various defense mechanisms. The real question is whether high levels of oxygen in the blood, which are administered iatrogenically, leads to tissue destruction.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which is a result of hyperoxia and may be useful even at low levels, may cause tissue loss due to oxidative stress, also called oxygen-free radicals. ROS, whose toxicity is very destructive with its accumulation, may cause damage to macromolecular structures such as lipids, protein, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA. On the organs of the exposed oxidative stress; For lung, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), cardiovascular system, ischemic heart disease (IHD), hypertension, shock, heart failure, while kidney failure and glomerulonephritis can cause unwanted complications.

The kidneys get for circulation, only 20% of the cardiac output. Since the arterial and venous (AV) structures in the kidneys are anatomically parallel to each other, the oxygen concentration in the renal vein may be relatively higher than the efferent arteriole and cortex because of the oxygen shunt. Thanks to this mechanism, in clinical situations where partial oxygen pressure (Pa02) is high, the oxygen concentration presented to the kidney tissues remains within a certain limit. In fact, AV shunt protects kidney tissue with a structural antioxidant mechanism. Thus, the increase in renal blood flow (RBF) will cause an increase in AV oxygen shunt in parallel, the blood coming to the kidneys participates in the systemic circulation without entering the renal microcirculation. It has been suggested that shunt occurs to protect from hyperoxia at the tissue level by decreasing blood volume in the kidneys. Oxidative stress, which is inevitable as a result, will increase tissue hypoxia paradoxically by increasing the oxygen consumption of the kidneys. It is stated that uremic toxin, especially indoxyl sulfate (IS) accumulation is the cause of the mentioned table. Apart from IS, phenyl sulfate and ρ-cresy sulfate make tubular cells susceptible by reducing glutathione levels. Thus, increased renal hypoxia, renal oxidative stress will result in renal inflammation and fibrosis.

According to recent studies, the antioxidant defense mechanism has been shown not only to be limited to AV shunt. But also the dynamic regulation of intrarenal oxygenation in RBF changes. However, mechanisms developed to prevent hyperoxia have made kidney tissue sensitive to hypoxia. The increase in AV oxygen shunt causes an increase in tissue hypoxia.

Although endogenous antioxidant mechanisms play a major role against free radicals, the postoperative effects of iatrogenic hyperoxia on transplanted kidney grafts and patient survival remain a subject to be investigated. That's why we aim to understand the impact of iatrogenic hyperoxia during the living donor kidney transplantation operations by retrospective data analyzing.

Trial design

247 participants in 3 patient groups

Normoxy: PaO2 = 80-120 mm Hg
Description:
Data collection explained below: Arterial blood samples from all groups shall be taken after induction, 5 minutes after graft perfusion, and end of surgery in the intraoperative period, in the operating room. The duration of the intensive care unit (ICU), the duration of mechanical ventilation in intensive care, Whether or not to re-intubate, hospital stay, intraoperative and postoperative laboratory data, immunosuppression regimen, postoperative complications (surgical site infection, ischemic vascular conditions, complications from respiratory) and interventions will be included for the study analysis. The survival of the patients will be enrolled, and the relationship between the obtained data and survival will be investigated. For early-stage graft survival, postoperatively; Data such as renal replacement therapy, the total amount of urine levels, creatinine values, presence of delayed graft function will be recorded.
Treatment:
Procedure: Arterial blood gas samples
Moderate hyperoxemia: PaO2 =120-200 mm Hg
